Hot Cars and Guitars
(re-mix) lowered Bass volume a bit...

Full moon on a Friday night, Man it’s a crazy scene
Top down and my steady girl, in this mean machine
Rockabilly on the radio, cruzin’ down around the Dairy Queen

Jam session at the dance hall, we’re gonna’ rock all night
Hep-cats on the dance floor, the band is swingin’ tight
Hotrods in the parking lot, drag racin’ in the moonlight

~ Chorus ~
Hot cars and guitars, you know that’s my passion
Telecaster and a Hotrod Ford, always in fashon
Hot Cars and Guitars, give me satisfaction

Hot cars and Guitars, fine-tuned machines
Listen to them whisper, listen to them scream
Drivin’ fast or cruzin’ slow, rev ‘em up and go cat go

~ Solos ~

Meet ya later at the Drive-thru, for cold Brews & Bar-B-Que
Break out the old Geetars, boogie down beneath the stars.
All the Chicks are feelin’ real good, the Cats are all rockin’ in the neighborhood

~ Chorus ~ Solo ~ Out ~

Howdy Bloc-head....

Cool track.
Good vox....mix works fine.
It has a great 60's blues vibe.
Like a cross between Charlie Musslewhite and Stray Cats.

Bur....that's just me. smile

Well done!

Carry on....

Awesome job, Bloc-head. I loved the guitar solos!
It takes a brave man to use the word “hep” in a lyric in this day and age

Thanks Nigel... yeah, all that slap-back on the the vocals... I was going for that Gene Vincent (Be Bop A Lula) vibe.

So good, bloc-head. Man, love that bass. What a fun feel, the kind of tune I always perk up for when the band leader calls for it. The guitar solo soars perfectly, and I always sit up for a good harmonica.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Bloc-head,

At first I thought the song was a bit too slow, but suddenly the chorus came and from then on it was a big pleasure to listen to it. And the second time I played it, the pleasure started at the beginning. A very nice song!
Like Dave wrote, I liked everything about it!
And you know your vocals had something in common with Marty (Babumusic). The same pleasure sounds while you sing. You can do a duet, of course in the style of this lovely song.

Needless to say I enjoyed it a lot,
Hans

Hi bloc-head
Cool sound
Sounds really good over headphones
Brilliant guitar solos. Fits perfectly
Somehow I find the artwork very successful. Probably because of the great red of the oldtimer (I don't even know what model this is....)
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Now that's a fun song to listen to! At first I was wondering if it would be better at a faster tempo, but as I continued listening I think you really nailed it just where it should be. I really liked that bass working through the whole song and the reverb throughout really gave it a great feel. Clever, cold ending.

bloc-head,

Smokin'!!

Impressive work on that list of instruments.
Cool Bass. I like the "subtle" drum track.
Killer guitar!
Loved that ending. Nice use of stops.

Excellent vocals and harmonies. (I thought they were perfectly placed in the mix.)

Nice job of getting the BIAB harp in there. Like it was made-to-order.

Music worth listen to. Many times. Chair Dancing.

What they said! Fun song, strong instrumentals - hot guitars and harmonicas!

The vocal effects does a good job calling back to older songs. The harmony sounds great as well.

Fun listen! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
